Except Manson wasn't so sinister or nihilistic or highly placed or entitled. Matter of fact, Manson was a pretty upstanding citizen in comparison to S. Bannon.

Because, you know, lies, proclamations and noise, projection, confusion, insurrection. Somebody knew enough to effectively disarm existing civil and military authority. It took a mastermind to create enough uproar to make it appear spontaneous while being led by an elite and well-funded cabal. I wonder if Pence was a stooge, or if he was in on it.
